More than 120 million Americans live in areas experiencing a shortage in behavioral health care providers, according to the Health Resources and Services Administration. Even when providers are available, patients often rely on primary care physicians for behavioral health care, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians.
Below are resources that providers across disciplines may find helpful to support patients presenting with behavioral health concerns. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois makes no endorsement of these resources and encourages providers to consider what care is best for their patients under their specific circumstances.
